Their visit focused on increasing U.S. exports to and investment in the creative industries, ICT and digital technologies, infrastructure, and energy. The delegation engaged with entrepreneurs, business leaders, and government officials to remove barriers to U.S. trade and investment, to drive transactions forward, and to promote market opportunities.

 

The U.S. government officials will brief the audience on their trip, highlighting key findings and opportunities to deepen U.S. and Africa economic ties in these sectors.
